Springfield Police Sergeant John Umenhofer said this national regulation is partially because airsoft guns can get you into trouble. Parental consent and supervision is required for minors.
“It can be scary if you have a child with an airsoft gun at night and we're going to an armed subject call in a darkened alley way or something and they pointed the gun, we could have a real tragedy,” Sgt. Umenhofer said.
